Just when you least expect it, an auto accident can wreak havoc to anyone at anytime. There is an increasing range of injury due to "minor" traffic accidents that impair, disable, and generally bring undeserved pain to millions of Americans. Even if many of these "minor injuries" do not require hospitalization, they do require immediate attention, and frequently, repeated treatments of one kind or another. Many accidents victims lack health care insurance and for monetary reasons may avoid seeking medical care. This is where MedplexMD can be of service to you in your time of medical treatment, which is so vital to a speedy recovery after your accident.

At MedplexMD we provide a high quality team of licensed and competent health care professionals. Our physicians are genuinely interested in maximizing not only your physical recovery, but your emotional recovery as well, through a good level of communication providing detailed information about your injuries. Our caring staff of physicians and nurses have many years of training and experience in dealing with a wide range of trauma-related injuries.

MedplexMD’s goal to our accident victims is to deliver safe, high quality medical care with convenience and efficiency; conduct a prompt and detailed history and physical examination to determine the extent of injuries; and prescribe treatment regimens to speed up the healing process.

Appropriate diagnostic studies, including X-rays or MRI/CT scans are conducted along with a comprehensive physical examination to determine the extent of injuries and rule out any serious underlying condition. In the acute phase, pain management to control or relieve pain and ensure rest and rehabilitation for recovery may be prescribed. We also offer treatment modalities that are critical to a speedy recovery such as electronic muscular stimulation and ultrasound-both of which are excellent non-invasive means of providing pain relief and in increasing mobility by working to reduce pain perception and to control acute and chronic pain.

Don’t put yourself through unnecessary pain and suffering after your auto injury when we are here to help and offer quality care and convenient office visits. Delayed treatment is the number one cause of permanent injury following auto accidents. We are here to help.
